Femoral hernia on computed tomography

Computed tomography (CT) scan through the femoral heads (A) shows a fat-filled localized mass (white arrow) lateral to the pubic tubercle (white arrowhead) associated with compression of the left femoral vein (white dashed arrow). These findings are consistent with a femoral hernia. The pear-shaped hernia sac is better appreciated in the coronal view (B), which is magnified in (C). There is no evidence of bowel obstruction.
